Controls for EA SPORTS PGA TOUR (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S)

by Mike Alexander / Articles, Game Controls & Hotkeys, Misc. Guides / 06 Apr 2022

I never really liked golf. It was a sport that was available at my school and I lived on a golf course throughout my high school years, and I just never got it. There’s a tiny ball, a bunch of metal clubs, and a go-cart. What’s the big deal?

I spent years in this ignorance until I played Hot Shots Golf for the first time. Sure, it’s a hyper version of real life golf, but the mechanics, the excitement on display, the skill required to play the game well, it was all becoming clear to me. I spent a lot of time with that game over that summer (I think I was playing it on the PS Vita, so maybe it was around 2012), and I began to watch the golfers outside my window do their thing. Most of them were terrible, but I was beginning to see how they could b having fun.

Fast forward many years later, and… I still don’t quite get it. Golf in reality seems boring, but video game golf is great! If you prefer your golf games to be more like a simulation of the real thing rather than an arcade-ified version of the experience, then EA Sports PGA Tour is here to claim your precious free time.

If you plan to play the game on PlayStation or Xbox, then boy do we have something special for you today.
